A Carnival in Darkness: Part 84

Zack sees the people of Genesis' village with what looks like holding That Man against his will, not letting the hero leave. With a swing of his sword, he breaks down the door of the house he was being held and worshipped. Seeing That Man bring great miracles to Genesis' village, Zack decides that he wants to bring That Man to his poor village too. Zack makes his way to That Man and holds his hand, hoping the hero will leave with him.

Sailor Pluto right away began to worry as she knew what was going to happen next and it will be anything but peaceful as she was sure that Genesis' and Zack's village will be going to war for the rights to own That Man.

"Leave my people and village alone, Zack! You will never take That Man away from us. If he leaves here we will all die. You will have to kill all of us to get to That Man." Genesis slashed at Zack's sword and the two warriors began to have a brutal fight for That Man.

***********************************

As Raven received the request to begin to sing a country song, he would do his best to give it the truest and most authentic feel ever...Especially because on the inside he really was a sad and down individual due to the fact that he no longer had freedom in life. He was to sing for all these people, Pokemon, Duel Monsters and all other beings of this universe.

Dressed in the attire of a cowgirl, he would simply sing the tunes and lyrics of Dolly Parton with the help of the band, Ken and Vega as they chose to intervene and assist as the song went on and on.

That Man was absolutely horrified at the fact that a fight was beginning to outbreak over his assistance. He knew that something like this could have happened...But he didn't think it would be so serious as to draw the will of the people to want to die without him around to help assist them.

"Please, Zack, Genesis, you two must not fight. Life is a precious commodity and you mustn't throw it away so wastefully. I can help both villages, do not worry." That Man would say, unknowing of course if the two warriors were going to even listen to his words to stop.

***********************************

Hamtaro watched the pokemons and duel monsters evolve when they got close to Raven. He didn't know how Raven's music could have such an effect, so the hamster ran closer to Raven to have a better look. When he was close enough he felt something strange happening to him as if he was trying to evolve too. Hamtaro all of sudden grew to a large 10 foot tall hamster staring down at Raven.

Zack refused to back down as he fought back Genesis with an equal hard sword blow. He would not give up on bringing That Man to his home village as long as breath still existed in him and even if he ended up dead his ghost would come back to continue the fight for That Man. This fight was going to be a long one. Zack fights Genesis and shows not sign of tiring. For the rights of That Man is a fight worth dying for.

"You are out of your league, kid. That Man belongs to us, he will never leave our village." Genesis will also fight to the death for That Man as he clashes swords with Zack. Soon many villagers were scared and began running away and a fire began to burn around the fighting area.

Sephiroth watched Genesis and Zack fighting each other and their fighting was starting to destroy the village. He didn't care what happened to the village and wanted to leave here but he remained loyal to That Man and waited for his orders. Sephiroth bowed at That Man and asked if there is anything he should do. "Should I kill them both for you, sir? Surely they must be annoying you by now."

***********************************

Axl...Had...Somehow lost himself in time again without even knowing it. That is until he ran into something very large...Covered in scales...And quite prepared to slice him to pieces as he was now running for his life through various foliage and untouched wilderness.

"Bloody 'elllll!!!! I got sent to the age of the dinosaurs again!" Axl screamed in disdain as he now had to survive his trip to this time. He could only hope that he'd be warped through time once again.

"Please! Please! You must stop. This is horrible, you must not destroy that which is meant to better the lives of others. Please, restrain yourselves!" That Man said quite loudly as he wanted to stop Genesis and Zack from destroying all that was around them.

"No, Sephiroth...We mustn't kill. Killing must only be done as a final resort, I am sure that these two will stop...They have to."

Raven was still very sad on the inside, but he had become so used to putting on a happy face for the crowd that it hardly seemed like he was all that bothered anymore with what he was being forced to do.

Singing, dancing, living up to the requests of others and doing everything he possibly could.

***********************************

Vega noticed that while most of the crowd was having a great time listening to the music some of them looked worried especially the hamsters. Vega tried to ask Raven hoping he was not too busy to talk to him. "Where is That Man? He has been gone for so long that many are starting to worry."

Ken listens to Vega talk to Raven and he was worried too. "Should we send someone to look for That Man? At least find out how he is doing and where he is to make sure that he is okay so everyone will stop worrying and enjoy Raven's singing and dancing."

Genesis used all his strength and abilities to fight Zack but as time went on, their swords could not handle the battle and broke. Both warriors were bleeding and suffered great injuries but That Man was worth fighting to the death for. Eventhough swordless and possibly close to death, Genesis was not going to give up. He grabs Zack's neck and begins choking him. "Brat. That Man shall never leave here, not you or anyone will take the savior away from us."

Zack reaches over Genesis' arms and began strangling Genesis back until there was two loud snapping sounds. The battle was over because Zack and Genesis both fell on the ground and stopped fighting because they were dead.
